In his entry, Jimmy explained that he loves the Treasure Ball Lucky Honeycomb Twin Fever slot. He told PokerNews that he was drawn in by the wild name and unpredictable nature of the game. "You know, slots have always been fun for me. I don't like the regular ones, I like the ones with the extra bits added on. There's just a lot going on with these kinds of slots, and it's just very entertaining."
